an authorIn regards to publishing, I think that Verso Books has it right when they often offer substantial savings for eBooks as well as free eBooks for physical purchases. They also allow users full access to the text to load to whatever platform they choose.
This all reminds me of Craig Mod’s piece arguing that the future book is here, it just wasn’t what we expected.
Thanks for introducing me to Verso. That company seems to have the model right. I’m impressed. I’d be more impressed if there was a wider range of books, but yes, this is what we were lead to expect would be possible with ebooks. If the big publishers did the same, especially bundling ebooks with printed books, I think the publishing history of the last ten years would be different.
